Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 4
Abstract
Mongoose is small feliform carnivores that are native to southern Eurasia and Africa. The genus Suricata Suricata suricata commonly called meercat is found in South Africa. Herpestidae is placed within the suborder Feliformia, together with the cat, hyena, and civet families. Mongoose live in South Asia, Africa, Fiji, Puerto Rico, Caribbean and Hawaiian islands where they are an introduced sp. Mongooses have receptors for acetylcholine, like the receptors in snakes so it is impossible for snake neurotoxin venom to attach to them. Pigs, Honey badgers, Hedgehogs and mongooses all have modifications to the receptor pocket that prevents the snake venum Alpha neurotoxin from binding. Behaviour of small asian mongoose is syudied in the present paper.
